Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 small Carrots, finely chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red wine
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 14 ounces Shirataki noodles

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables become soft.
Add ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in the tomato paste, allowing it to toast slightly, about 1 minute.
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits, and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaf, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the ragu simmer gently for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the shirataki noodles according to package instructions, typically by rinsing under cold water, then boiling for 2 to 3 minutes to remove any residual odor.
Drain and dry the noodles thoroughly.
Add the shirataki noodles to the beef ragu or serve the ragu over the noodles.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil before serving.
